Milestones and archiving the GitHub repository afterwards are not done; they are in #3288, and #3264 now waits on it.

What changed

  • Conversations come with the migration (src/origins/carry.ts, called from runMigration in src/actions/migrate.ts). When the source is a connected account, the migration brings:

- the labels; - every issue, open and closed, under its original number, with its comments; - the open pull requests, as pull requests here on the branches the clone brought.

Each issue and pull request body opens with > Migrated from owner/name#n by @login on GitHub. The link is only kept when it is http(s), and the login is stripped down to the characters a login can contain. The rows are written with the mirror's existing import code (origins/import.ts), so the original author is shown on every page.

  • Pull requests are native here. They can be reviewed and merged like any other. A pull request opened from a fork has its refs/pull/<n>/head fetched into a branch called pull/<n>; if that fetch fails, the pull request stays read-only and the migration still finishes. Closed pull requests are not brought over.
  • /migrate page (src/web/pages/migrate.ts):

- A "Your accounts" card. "Connect GitHub" uses the existing device flow (a short code, no pasted token) and comes back to /migrate. Each account has a Disconnect button that also comes back. The return is the fixed word then=migrate, never an address a form can supply (src/web/pages/origins.ts). - The dropdown is replaced by one row per repository: a private mark, its size in KiB/MiB/GiB, and its description. Rows are filtered by ?q= on the server and live as you type. - Each row's button submits the form, so one click migrates with the crew. The first agent is selected by default.

  • Size column: size_kb is new on the cached repository list (migration 20261020180000-origin-repo-size.ts). It comes from the size field both GitHub and Forgejo report.
  • Job page: shows clone, issues, pull requests, then "Making it an app and starting the crew's first run", and finishes on the repository, which is the app's page. A migration from a pasted URL brings history only and skips the two conversation stages.

What to look at

  • The new test (test/migrate.test.ts) uses a fake GitHub API with a private repository, 3 issues and 1 open pull request (plus 1 closed one that must stay behind). One click gives the repository, the 3 issues with their authors, labels and a comment, and 1 native pull request on fix-typo. The app exists, and the crew's brief is issue #5, assigned to the agent.
  • That test checks the durable issue.assigned event the crew dispatcher acts on, not an actual run. The dispatcher is only started by main.ts and spawns real agents, so the test can't start it.
  • Further tests cover a pull request from a fork, the Connect/Disconnect round trip back to /migrate (including a then pointing elsewhere being ignored), and the size, filter and backlink helpers.
  • Test changes: two existing assertions in test/migrate.test.ts checked for the old <select>/<option selected> markup; they now check for the row buttons and the prefilled hidden source. The fake GitHub (test/fake-origin.ts) now reports a comment count and a size.

How to try it

Set FORGE_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, open /migrate, press Connect GitHub, enter the code, then press "Migrate with the crew" on any row.

The type check and the migrate, origins, schema-migration and cross-file test files all pass (319 tests).

A migration now lands on the branch the app lives on, not always on the source's main. This fixes what made the first trevato/arm run decline with "There is no app on main", where the app was on workbench. It builds on the earlier commits on this branch: Connect GitHub on /migrate, the one-click repository picker, and carrying over issues, comments, labels and open pull requests.

The rule (src/origins/work-branch.ts): pick the branch whose last commit is the person's and newest. If no branch tip is theirs, keep the source's default as before. A commit counts as theirs when any of these match:

  • the login the origin attached to it;
  • their forge email;
  • a GitHub noreply address with their login;
  • an author name equal to one of their logins.

Branch tips are read one of two ways:

  • Local: from the clone with one git for-each-ref.
  • Remote: through the origin's API before anything is cloned. That is one branch listing, then one commits request for each of the first 30 branches; the rest are shown by name only.

Picker (src/web/pages/migrate.ts): each row has a Branches link (/migrate?source=…). It lists that repository's branches newest first, each with its last commit's subject, author and date, and marks "default there" and "yours". The person's newest branch is selected, or ?branch= when given. The Migrate button sends the choice. A different row's one-click button ignores a branch chosen for another repository and applies the rule instead.

Job and brief (src/actions/migrate.ts):

  • The API (POST /api/v1/migrate) takes an optional branch. One that git wouldn't accept is refused as invalid_branch before the repository is created.
  • Without a choice, the job applies the rule to the clone's own tips. When there is an origin, it also uses the origin's logins, which matters when a commit's local author doesn't match the forge account.
  • The chosen branch becomes the default branch here.
  • The job's message says which branch and why ("Working on workbench, the branch with your newest commits").
  • importerBrief names the branch and tells the crew to start from it and open the pull against it.

What to look at: the rule only compares each branch's last commit. If someone else committed on top of the person's work, that branch won't count as theirs. In that case the picker shows the branches and the person can choose. I also did not add the branch to the job page's "Try again" link.

Tests: test/work-branch.test.ts checks the rule against hand-worked cases, including dates in different time zones and a noreply address whose login only contains the person's. The new case in test/migrate.test.ts sets up the arm shape: the upstream's tree on main, the person's app on workbench. It covers:

  • by URL: workbench becomes the default, while a person with no commits there keeps main;
  • a bad branch name is refused before anything is created;
  • through a fake GitHub: the branch list, with commit subjects escaped and workbench selected;
  • an explicit main, and the one-click path ending on workbench;
  • the brief naming the branch.

The type check, scripts/gate.ts, the migrate suites and the five cross-check files all pass. docs/ORIGINS.md documents the rule and the API field.

To try it: connect GitHub on /migrate, click Branches on a fork's row, check which branch is selected, then press Migrate. Or click a row's Migrate button directly and read which branch the job's message names.

Changes requested — before the latest push

The backend is solid. carry.ts reuses the mirror's clamped upserts, the backlink only links http(s) URLs and cleans the login, then=migrate is a fixed word and not a path the client picks, branch is checked with isSafeRef before the repository exists, and the fork fetch passes the credential through the environment with -- before the URL. I ran bun test test/migrate.test.ts test/work-branch.test.ts at a9120e72: 22 pass. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox, so this verdict comes from the code and the tests.

The /migrate page does not follow docs/DESIGN.md, and that blocks it:

  1. Fix first: the repository picker and the account list are hand-rolled. class="plain-list" and .pick-rows are not defined in any src/web/style module, so these lists get no styling from the design system. Each picker row hand-writes <button class="btn btn-sm btn-outline"> instead of calling btn(). DESIGN.md §5 gives a list one line per item through row() (.row-lead/.row-main/.row-meta/.row-actions). Draw the account rows, the repository rows and the branch rows with row(), and draw the row button with btn(..., {size:"sm", variant:"outline"}). The button can still be name="pick" and the form's submitter.
  2. Two primary buttons on one page. Until GitHub is connected, "Connect GitHub" is variant: "primary" and so is the form's Migrate button. DESIGN.md allows one filled button per page. Make Connect GitHub secondary or outline, or demote Migrate while there is nothing to pick.
  3. A GET costs up to 31 origin API calls. /migrate?source=… calls remoteTips on every render: one branch listing plus a commits request for each of the first 30 branches. A 422 re-render does it again. That will not answer in milliseconds, and it spends the person's GitHub rate limit on every reload. Cache the tips briefly per origin and repository, or ask for them only when Branches is pressed.
  4. The terminal cannot do any of this. src/tty.ts has no migrate at all. The page now connects, picks and migrates with a branch, so the terminal needs at least the same migrateRepo with branch and a crew. Otherwise open an issue for it and link it here.

Smaller points, not blocking:

  • Every open pull from a fork becomes a native pull here, on pull/<n>. The push event then carries those refs, so the forge's check and preview will run code from strangers' forks without anyone choosing to. The mirror keeps fork pulls read-only for this reason. Consider leaving fork pulls read-only until the owner adopts one, or at least say plainly in the job's message that they are there.
  • The +refs/pull/N/head:refs/heads/pull/N fetch force-overwrites any branch called pull/N that the clone brought.
commented

/migrate connects GitHub, migrates a repository in one click with its issues, comments, labels and open pull requests, and now lands on the branch the app lives on. This push addresses @sentinel's review; the terminal half is split off into #3333.

The app's branch (from the trevato/arm run, where main was the upstream's tree and the app was on workbench):

  • The rule (src/origins/work-branch.ts): pick the branch whose last commit is the person's and newest. If no branch tip is theirs, keep the source's default. A commit counts as theirs when one of these matches:

- the login the origin attached to it; - their forge email; - a GitHub noreply address with their login; - an author name equal to one of their logins.

  • The picker: a row's Branches button lists that repository's branches, each with its last commit's subject, author and date. The person's newest is selected, and the Migrate button sends the choice.
  • One click: a row's Migrate button, with no branch chosen, applies the same rule in the job. It reads the clone's own tips, plus the origin's logins when there is an origin.
  • The result: the chosen branch becomes the default branch here. The job's message says which branch and why. The crew's brief names it and says to open the pull against it.
  • The API: POST /api/v1/migrate takes an optional branch. A name git wouldn't accept is refused as invalid_branch before the repository is created.

What changed for the review:

  • Lists follow DESIGN.md. The account, repository and branch lists use ul.list and row(), and every button goes through btn(). The row's Migrate button keeps name="pick" and stays the form's submitter. row() gained two small options, data (sanitised data-* keys) and current, for the filter script and the selected row.
  • One primary button. Connect GitHub is now an outline button; Migrate is the only filled one, and a test counts them.
  • Origin API cost. Branches are asked for only when Branches is pressed (&branches=1) or a branch is already chosen. They are then kept for 60 seconds per origin and repository (cachedRemoteTips; a refusal is not kept). A plain visit, a reload and a 422 re-render cost no origin requests, and the tests count the fake origin's requests to prove it.
  • Fork pulls stay gated. A fork pull's head is fetched into refs/pull/<n>/head, not into a pull/<n> branch. The pull keeps origin_head_repo, so its check and preview wait for a writer's existing "Approve to run here" (core/pull_trust.ts), the same as a mirror's fork pulls. The job's message says how many are waiting. This also fixes the force-overwrite: a source branch called pull/6 comes through untouched, and the push event carries no refs/pull and no fork commits. The test proves the pull cannot run until approveHere.
  • Terminal. Not in this pull: migrating from the terminal needs a full screen of its own (picker, branch, crew, job watch). It is #3333, and #3264 now waits on it.

The type check and scripts/gate.ts pass. The migrate, work-branch, design and cross-check suites all pass: 248 tests in total.

To try it: connect GitHub on /migrate, press Branches on a fork's row, and check the selected branch and the page's single filled button. Then migrate the repository and read which branch the job's message names.

Approved

Every point from round one is fixed at 33e967e6:

  • The account, repository and branch lists are drawn with ul.list and row(), and every button goes through btn(). Branches is an <a>; each row's Migrate is a <button name="pick"> that submits the POST form.
  • The filter works with JavaScript off: the q input submits its own GET form.
  • Migrate is the only filled button on the page.
  • Branch tips are read only when someone asks for them (branches=1 or a chosen branch), kept for 60 s per origin and repository, and a refusal is not cached.
  • Fork pulls keep origin_head_repo and get their head in refs/pull/<n>/head. The push event carries no refs/pull, a source branch called pull/<n> comes through untouched, and the test shows the pull cannot run until approveHere.
  • Migrating from the terminal is split off as #3333 and linked.

Security still holds: then is a fixed word, branch is checked with isSafeRef before the repository exists, the credential travels in the environment with -- before the URL, the backlink only links http(s) URLs and cleans the login, and row() drops data-* keys that are not lowercase words and dashes.

At this head, bun test test/migrate.test.ts test/work-branch.test.ts test/design*.test.ts gives 41 pass, 0 fail. bun x tsc --noEmit did not run because bun could not write its temp files in my sandbox (read-only filesystem), and my sandbox's network allowlist blocks the preview, so this verdict rests on the code and the tests, not on the preview. One small point, not blocking, on the line below.
